Try-outs TB 2025

GROUP & INDIVIDUAL

Try-out preferably per stuntgroup, but individual try-out is also possible

• In one of the following formations:
  • Co-ed twobased group = flyer, side base, main base
  • Allgirl stuntgroup = flyer, side base, main base, backspot

If you wish to participate in the try outs as an individual, you may do so. In this case, keep in mind that because of the limited time during the try outs, the focus will be on the stunt groups. You will not be assigned to different stunt groups, but you will get the chance to prove yourself. If the jury feels that you can add value to the team, you can also be admitted as an individual.

Important: We try to keep existing formations together whenever possible. BCF reserves the right to change you from stunt group, or even team if it is judged that this would be a better match. (E.g. switch from All-girl to co-ed)

REQUIRED SKILLS

Here you can find the list of the required skills, stunt sequences for the tryouts will be available online after the first skills day. Both the individual skills and the stunt sequences will have to be shown during the try-outs. You will be able to show each skill a maximum of 2x.

Please note that this list is only indicative, it can be deviated from at any time. This means that it is possible that not all required skills will be included, or that additional skills will be requested.

You will be evaluated on:

• General stamina and coordination
• Stunt skills
• Tumbling (jumps, standing and running)
• Basket tosses
• Yell

The stunt sequences must be known and practised by the date of the try-outs. We expect correct timing, as well as correct execution and motions for the flyer.

Don't be put off!

If you don't master some of the skills on this list, that's no problem at all. You can still try-out!

Our goal is to create a strong TEAM with versatile athletes. In principle, the more skills you have, the better. But even if you only excel in tumbling or stunts, you can make a great contribution to the team!

We are expecting ANYONE selected to be able to attend ALL training sessions. We will have to learn and practice the routine on a limited number of practices, this is only possible if we can expect maximum effort from everyone. If you cannot attend all training sessions, unfortunately you cannot be selected for the team. 

In addition to these mandatory trainings with the team, you are also expected to systematically train independently with your stunt group. We expect independent training on all required elements at least 2x per month. Videos of these training sessions will be forwarded to the coaches and you will always receive interim feedback on them.
